Fancy that - being able to report a crime. Gosh! Who would want to be a criminal with all those do-gooder snoopers around reporting crimes. In the good old days you could rape a woman, burgle the rich people on the posh estate and shout n**ger or P**i b'stard at who ever you wanted to and no one would bother.
What has this world come to. Damn frightening.
You still haven't got it. Sarcasm is a pretty low form of wit as we all know.
Being openly racist is completely different in the way you've mentioned, from making a criticism formed on the basis of religion. Making a joke at the expensive of a religion or its followers shouldn't be classed as the same thing as what you're suggesting.
What you're still complettec glossing iver, or maybe too stupid to grasp, I can't tell is the issue of the loose wording of the law and the subjectivity of offence.
The law doesn't define the point where being offensive starts or ends in the second way what could offend you might not offend me.
This is why it's referred to as a slippery slope.
The core of the slippery slope argument is that a specific decision under debate is likely to result in
unintended consequences.
This is already playing out and you unintentionally do realise this yourself where you say "in the good old days...', implying things have moved on.
Now take all of what I've just said and consider this, you call me a name, for arguments sake, a faggot. I find that deeply offensive and unfounded. Some people may use that word as part of a joke or punchline, maybe day to day banter.
But I, me, singular person found it offensive. Why shouldn't you go to jail?
